AP Headline: "Democrats Declare Swamp of Corruption Drained"

I wouldn't jump at the AP -- they seem skeptical of Nancy Pelosi's swamp-dryness estimations.

The AP writer expanded on the headline in his lede: "Democratic leaders say they've emptied the swamp of congressional corruption. Never mind the ethics trials to come for two longtime party members. 'Drain the swamp we did, because this was a terrible place,' Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week of the Republican rule in the House that ended in January 2007."

While he mentions the current cases of Rangel and Waters, he fails to mention Cold Cash Jefferson or the three white guys involved in the PMA corruption scandal. (Why were they targeting the White Congressional Caucus a year ago? Racists.)

I give Nancy Pelosi one thing: She has balls the size of casaba melons. Unlike you-know-who.

And she delivers these lines with such perfect deadpan! Then again, that's years of jigsaw surgery to thank for that.
